I am getting ready to get some new shoes for the Hatch, and i want to know what the biggest offset people are running with no rubbing.

I have a 99 hatch with a five lug swap. i plan on getting a set off ADVAN RG's and I want to know what the optimal offset is. I am thinking of going with 16x7.5 up front and maybe 16x8 out back. Anyone running a similar set up? Any offset info or comparisons will help.

Also i have adjustable coil overs so ride height shouldn't be an issue.

I don't think you're going to be able to run 7.5s or 8s on the Civic. Sorry, my buddy Rodney has a wide front end on his and only runs 8s.

 

You don't think I could run 16x7.5 in the front?

What would you suggest?

 

7 inches at the widest.

EDIT: I don't know what offset. Somewhere between 38-42?

 

you think I could go bigger in the back?

Why?

 

more traction i am going to be running a big sway bar and I just want as much rubber on the road as I can get.

 

38 or higher offset. I use a 40 and it fits nicely with 7" wide wheels.

 

so you run what 16x7 with a 4omm offset all the way around?
What kind of use does your car see, and what kind of suspesion are you riding on?

i am running 16x7 with a +42 offset, no rub and it clears wilwood brakes.

So you are running 16x7.5 with a 40mm offset? Thats on an EG

 

anyone think I could get away with 16x7.5 with a 40mm offset up front and 16x8 with a 42 or 44mm offset in the back?

 

bump for the morning

 

Is this for racing purposes? I don't understand why you'd need uber amounts of rear grip and a giant rear sway for street use

 

yes, could I fit it? whats the biggest you have seen without any wheele well modification?

 

If it's truly for LEGAL racing, ask in the RR/AutoX Forum.

I did they relocated me to the hybrid forum which has been even less helpfull then this one

 

Make a new post, include your racing class so they know you're for real. We get too many street racers that just don't have a clue in there.

 

what kind of tires?? i have seen large differences in width with still the same width and aspect ratio.
